Straight from the Netflix universe, “Stranger Things” has come to Broadway. But it’s not an adaptation of the series. As you’ll hear in this episode, Broadway’s “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” is a prequel to the streaming show. And it is absolutely canon.
Kate Trefry, a writer and executive producer of the Netflix show, penned the play while still writing the series — and she made sure it would all fit together. Hear from her and co-director Justin Martin as well as from Tony Award-winning mega-producer Sonia Friedman about the process of writing the story and creating a stage spectacular.
Then, hear from Main Stem stars Louis McCartney (who plays Henry Creel) and Alex Breaux (who plays Dr. Brenner) to learn more about what to expect from the play, what to expect from their characters and why “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” is actually a mix of “10 Things I Hate About You” and “The Exorcist.”
